In 1988 Spain arrived at the European championship with high hopes. 24 years after the first historic victory at the European Championship, Munoz's squad included young players like Míchel and Butragueño.

In the match against Italy the Spanish national team lost Michel after a fault by a young Maldini, in the second-half a goal by Vialli gave the 3 points to the Azzurri. The defeat with West Germany sanctioned the elimination of the Spanish national team that months later played a friendly against Argentina: was the only time Maradona played against La Roja.
